This past week or so, Angus and Leo have been eating voraciously (or at least everything I put out for them). The ferals have been cleaning the dishes as well, but that could be someone in the complex who used to feed moving out so fewer other resources.
I understand that the ferals pack in as much calories as possible to bulk up for the colder months but is it some sort of instinct in cats to increase their feeding this time of year? Angus and Leo are playing, pooping normally (at long last ) and Angus is a bit pudgy so weight loss not happening although I'd like to see him drop a pound or so (healthily); they just seem to have more of an appetite.
